These instructions are to be considered as a rapid guide for installation and
to confirm the correct handing and polarity of the motors. They can also be
used to confirm the
operating logic before additional safety devices are fitted to the system as
specified by the Risk Assessment undertaken by the installer. The installer
should still familiarise
themselves with the full manual and the safety information contained within.
(available at https://www.faac.se/data/pdf/instruction_manual_ep104_4_08_r4_en_with_sheet_c999.pdf)

EP104 Basic Power, Motor, and Encoder Wiring
Ensure that the EP104-1 or EP104-2 is in a suitable enclosure and ideally be
in visual sight of the gate for commissioning purposes.
Fit the Gate Operator/s as per the drawings provided.
Power and Motor Connections
Connect the main power to the board and wire the motors in accordance with the
power available on site and matching motor. 3-Phase power supply to the
control board as required and shown below.
Encoder, Stop, and Photocell Connections
Encoders
Connect the Encoders to the EP104 Board as shown below. Please ensure that the
cable supplying the encoder is shielded or not sharing the conduit as the
motor power supply.
Stop Circuit
Link Terminal 7 to 12 if no emergency stop button is present, otherwise fit an
N/C Emergency Stop Button across the terminals.
Photocell Circuit – Default Function is Active on Closing Only
Connect a Photocell as per the below or Link Terminal 28 to 29, you can also
wire a Photocell into Input 6 as shown below and configure the Input to Safety
in P600 = 2 for the safety device. (Page 51 of the main manual) Please note
that by default P600 once set to safety device only functions on closing. If
acting on opening is required, please set P640 = 0 and P642 = 1 for Reversal
to Fully Closed.
Configuring the EP104
Before starting programming the EP104, it is best to familiarize yourself with
navigating through the menus. The EP104 display can show a value up to 4
digits long, or a channel number with the prefix C, d, F, L, o, P, or r
followed by 3 digits. If an E appears followed by a 3-digit number, this is an
Error message (please refer to Error Messages in
the main manual on page 53). Please note that on the first power-up, the
display will show EP-1 or EP-2 which is identifying if this is a unit design
for one or two motors, respectively.
Please study the below, which explains the process.

EP104 – First Steps
Step 1
First navi gate to C999 and change the value to “0” (this allows display of all registers).
Ensure that Photo/Safe/Stop/24V are all illuminated Green. To check motor rotation and encoders, we first put the EP104 into Service Mode. In this mode only the internal Open/Stop/Close buttons are functional. It should come default in this mode.
Set CO33 = 5
Step 2 — Main Power Settings
Set Power type in C202 to “0” for 3-Phase 400V with Neutral, or “2” for Single Phase with Neutral (Asymmetric).
Step 3 — Checking Motor Direction
To test the operation of the motor as we are in Service Mode, set L001= 4 and set L002 = 0, this will allow movement of only Motor 1. If you are using an EP104-1, please disregard L002.
At this point, you should be able to use the Dead-Man Controls on the board itself (The three buttons below the display, 1″ Black is the Open, 2″ Black is Close) to move the gate in the desired direction. If the gate moves in the opposite direction to the button being pressed, you need to switch the motor polarity as shown in the Power and Motor Connections section above or double- check L110 = 1 (Motor 1 on the left as viewed from inside) or 2 (Motor 1 on the right as viewed from inside). If you are using an EP104-2, repeat the process but set L001 = 0 and set L002 = 4 and perform the same test but now double-check L120 = 1 (Motor 2 on the left as viewed from inside) or 2 (Motor 2 on the right as viewed from inside). Please only press the button for a second or so to check movement as otherwise, it is most likely that an error will be generated, as have not yet set the power readings.
If it does not move, something is not wired correctly, check incoming voltage, motor connections first.
Step 4 – Motor Power and Encoder Settings
We can now adjust the power and encoder settings of the EP104. If you have a Single Leaf system, please skip to (14). At this stage, the gates can be in any position, ideally halfway to start and engaged to the operator.
- Set L001= 0 and L002 = 4
- Set C240 =0
- C241 (Motor Power Readout), it should say 0.00 with the gate stopped. Press and hold the Open Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving and then press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving
- Set C242 = average value recorded from C241 when opening plus 0.3
- Set C243 = average value recorded from C241 when closing plus 0.3
- C261 (Motor Current Readout), it should say 0.00 with the gate stopped. Press and hold the Open Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving and then press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving
- Set C262 = average value recorded from C261 when opening
- Set C263 = average value recorded from C261 when closing
- Set L002 = 1
- Check L120 is set to either “1” if Motor 2 is on the Left or “2” if on the right (viewed from the motor side)
- L121 (Position Readout Motor 2). Press and hold the Open Button on the board until the gate is fully open and make a note of the value. Now press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value
- Set L122 = value recorded from L121 when fully open
- Set L123 = value recorded from L121 when fully closed
- Set L002 = 0 and L001= 4
- Set C230 =0.0
- C231 (Motor Power Readout), it should say 0.00 with the gate stopped. Press and hold the Open Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving and then press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving
- Set C232 = average value recorded from C231 when opening plus 0.3
- Set C233 = average value recorded from C231 when closing plus 0.3
- C251 (Motor Current Readout), it should say 0.00 with the gate stopped. Press and hold the Open Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving and then press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving
- Set C252 = average value recorded from C261 when opening
- Set C253 = average value recorded from C261 when closing
- Set L001= 1
- Check L110 is set to either “1” if Motor 1 is on the Left or “2” if on the right (viewed from the motor side)
- L111 (Position Readout Motor 1). Press and hold the Open Button on the board until the gate is fully open and make a note of the value. Now press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value
- Set L112 = value recorded from L111 when fully open
- Set L113 = value recorded from L111 when fully closed
- Set L002 = 1
At this stage, while the EP104 is in Service Mode, the Internal Open and Close Buttons will operate the gate/s in Dead-Man Operation within the encoder settings set above.
Step 5 – Safety Edge Circuit
Wire in Safety Edges as shown below. Please note that the External Unit for personal protection is representing an optional wireless Safety Edge Controller system.
If NO Safety edges are to be connected to the control board, please adjust the following parameters accordingly otherwise it will not function correctly. (Page 36, 37)
NO SE.C1 Edge (Closing) —C111 = 0 (adjust to 2 if required) NO SE.C2 Edge (Closing) —C121 = 0 (adjust to 2 if required) NO SE.01 Edge (Opening)— C131 = 0 (adjust to 2 if required) NO SE.O2 Edge (opening)— C141 = 0 (adjust to 2 if required)
Step 6 – Take the EP104 out of Service Mode
Set CO33 = 3. In this mode, the gate will function from the internal buttons and will operate in a single press to Open fully with the Open Button and a single press to Close fully with the Close Button and all safeties active.
EP104 – Inputs and Automatic Closing
Inputs
The EP104-1 has 6 different inputs, as shown below.
Partial Openings
If only 1 gate is required to open in a double gate system from time to time, we would normally suggest using Input 3. The following settings will need to be adjusted to make it function in this method.
Set P360 = 1
Set P362 = 1
In this method, only Motor 1 will open fully and close if automatic closing is enabled. If P362 is set to “2” then only Motor 2 will open fully and close if automatic closing is enabled.
If you would like to enable the partial opening of Motor 1 or/and Motor 2 from time to time, we would normally suggest using Input 4 (if Input 3 is already in use above). The following settings will need to be adjusted to make it function in this method.
Set P460 = 1
Set P462 = 1 if applicable to Motor 1 only, 2 if applicable to Motor 2 only or 3 if applicable to both Motors Set P463 = 1
Set L116 = degree position where Motor 1 will stop (use L111 to see the
reading in normal operation)
Set L126 = degree position where Motor 2 will stop (use L121 to see the
reading in normal operation)
Automatic Closing
By default, the EP104 operates by using Input Commands as shown in the
diagram above and it is in a Pulse to Open and Pulse to Close function. If
Automatic Closing is required, please set the parameter below.
Set C500 = Automatic Closing time 0(minutes).00(seconds), i.e. 20 seconds pause time = 0.20
If you would like to set the Parking Logic function whereby the Closing Safety Photocell will trigger a command to close once activated and then cleared. You can also set a delay as per below from the Photocell trigger.
Set C351 = 1
Set C354 = 1 to close immediately or 2 to close only once the gate is fully open
Set C510 = Delay before automatic closing 00(seconds), i.e. 20 seconds pause time = 20
EP104 – Outputs and Connecting a Lock
Outputs
The EP104 does not have any outputs natively. If the output is required to
control traffic lights, control locks or provide position indicators to a BMS
on-site, then the use of a DB407 Output Card is required. Please note that if
you are replacing a version 4.06 or below EP104, you will also require a new
DB407 as the current control boards are not
compatible with the older versions of the DB401 (the original version of the
output card). The DB407 is connected to the EP104 and wired as shown below.
Please ensure that the EP104 is completely powered down before installation of the output card and that the desired outputs are wired in as per the below, and then power the EP104 back on.
In general terms, the DB407 is used to both connect a Magnetic Lock to the gate and/or connect a traffic light system.
Wiring a Magnetic Lock to an EP104
When it is being used to connect a Magnetic lock, we would recommend the use
of o2 and i1 and run a separate power supply positive to the Magnetic Lock
through the Output 2 relay (shown in the next page). This Output is already
pre-configured to be enabled in the closed position and disabled as soon as
the gate gets a command to open.
Wiring a Traffic Light to a EP104
When it is being used to connect a Traffic Light, we would recommend the use
of o5 and o6 and i3 and run a separate power supply positive to the Traffic
Light and you would switch the negative through the outputs as per below.
Magnetic Lock through Output 2 relay (shown in the next page). The following
settings will need to be adjusted to make it function in this method.
Set o500 = 1
Set o511 = 1
Set o512 = 1
Set o513 = 3
Set o600 = 1
Set o610 = 1
